Letter from the Chairman

When I first started doing business in Nigeria in the 1960s, I could never have imagined how deeply interwoven my family would become with this beautiful country. Now my family has lived in Nigeria for the past three generations and has watched the country transform through difficult times to what appears to be the most optimistic period in the country’s history. While oil has always been the backbone of the economy, I have watched the development of small scale projects and the maturity of larger scale industries throughout the country. The technology revolution has brought about profound changes. Modernization has broken down barriers and education has opened up the road of opportunity for Nigerians. I am proud of the part African Industries has played in setting up successful enterprises and creating jobs in Nigeria.

With a population of 160 million people, the largest in Africa, Nigeria is a country that is abundant in natural resources with a growing middle class. African Industries remains enthusiastic about the potential growth Nigeria has to offer which can instigate further development across the continent. Therefore, when you look at Nigeria, be sure to look at us as you will be excited in what we and Nigeria have to offer.

Yours Sincerely, P.K. Gupta
